2.2.1 Requirements for All Installations
The general requirements are described in this section. When you install an individual device, refer to the specific section of
the manual for information on the additional requirements. The following subsections list specific requirements for each type
of installation (for example, Central Station Fire Alarm Systems, Local Protected Fire Alarm Systems, and so on). See Section
10.6 for information on the Releasing operation.
1.
All field wiring must be installed in accordance with NFPA 70 National Electric Code.
2.
Use the addressable smoke detectors specified in Section 7 of this manual and or conventional detectors listed in the
compatibility chart. (See Appendix A.)
3.
Use UL listed notification appliances compatible with the FCP-300 that are listed in the Appendix A.
4.
A full System checkout must be performed any time the panel is programmed.
Restricted Options:
•
The loss of AC signal is defaulted to 3 hours. However, the System allows settings from 0 - 3 hours. For UL certified
installations, this number must be set from 1 to 3 hours.
•
The System allows the use of non-latching spot type smoke detectors. This feature may not be used in commercial
applications, whereby a general alarm is sounded. It is intended for use with elevator recall, door holding applications,
and hotel/motel room applications.
•
The System allows the Alarm Verification time to be set from 60 to 250 seconds. For UL certified installations, the setting
must be a minimum of 60 seconds.
•
The System allows the Auto-resound time to be set to 24 or 4 hours. For UL certified installations that are using SWIFT®
devices, the value must be set to 4 hours.
•
Call forwarding shall not be used.
•
When two count is used, the detector spacing shall be cut in half. You shall not use the alarm verification feature, and no
delay shall be used.
•
P.A.S(Positive Alarm Sequence) feature shall be used only with automatic detectors.
2.2.2 Central Station Fire Alarm Systems Requirements
1.
Use both phone lines. Enable phone line monitors for both lines.
2.
You must program a phone number and a test time so that the FCP-300/ECS shall automatically initiate and complete a
test signal transmission sequence to its associated receiver at least once every 6 hrs. The AC Loss Hours option must be
set from 1-3 hours.
3.
If you use a wired Ethernet, you must program the corresponding Account/Subscriber ID and a test time, so that the
FACP shall automatically initiate a test signal transmission sequence to its associated receiver at least once every 6 hours.
2.2.3 Local Protected Fire Alarm Systems Requirements
At least one UL listed supervised notification appliance must be used.
2.2.4 Remote Station Protected Fire Alarm Systems Requirements
The minimum System requirements are as follows:
•
One Fike Addressable Initiating Device
•
The 5220, Keltron 3158 or the built-in Digital Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT)
•
Do not exceed the current load restrictions shown in Section 3.7.5.
•
The AC Loss Hours option must be set from 1-3 hours.
2.2.5 Requirements for the Installation of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Warning
Equipment, NFPA 720
